Caviar has always carried a mythology heavier than its salt content. For some, it is an untouchable emblem of wealth; for others, an intimidating relic of old-world excess.

I didn’t expect the delivery from Solex Catsmo to feel like an invitation, but that’s exactly how it arrived—an elegant, chilled promise wrapped in insulated precision.
